WEIGHT REDUCTION • Up to 75% lighter than steel; up to 25% lighter than aluminum • Better fuel economy for transportation • Simplified installation DESIGN FLEXIBILITY • Complex shapes less costly to produce than metal • Ability to tailor strength and stiffness in specific areas • Versatile aesthetic options for surface finish PART CONSOLIDATION • Easier installation and assembly with fewer parts • Simplified transport of finished goods • Fewer parts = reduced chance of failure Value that the U.S. composite materials market is expected to reach by 2022 $10.6B 50% Amount of weight reduction that advanced composites could bring to passenger cars, leading to 35% better fuel efficiency 7% CAGR that analyst firm Technavio forecasts the global medical composite materials market will experience from 2016–2020 Fiber-reinforced polymer composites combine thermoset or thermoplastic resins with fiber reinforcement, the resulting product having substantially different properties than the individual components. THERMOPLASTIC The matrix material of a composite can be a thermoset or a thermoplastic THERMOSET THERMOPLASTIC A thermoset is a cross-linked polymer that cannot be reshaped after it’s formed, cured, and cooled.

PMMA Considering lens performance, Resilience™ LS Frost PVC offers properties and material performance similar to PMMA, often at a significantly lower cost. 1 ASTM D-1003 measured by Polymer Diagnostics, Inc. Find out more about the full line of Resilience LS family of rigid vinyl polymers for clear and diffuse lens materials.

During processing, polymers often degrade due to oxygen and heat exposure which causes such things as discoloration, gels, and black spots. Sustainability Spotlight Recycle Solutions KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Designed for polyolefin recycling and to enhance circularity • Protects polyolefins against degradation caused by oxygen and heat during processing • Provides improved stability against oxygen degradation and discoloration • Stabilizes the polymer to reduce creation of new gels and black spots • Excellent performance at low dosage levels MARKETS & APPLICATIONS • Recycled polyolefins • Packaging, consumer & others • High-value polyolefin applications with recycled material content • Virgin polymers which will be recycled after the use phase Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.
